Hola Barcelona

After spending many days in Bordeaux, Andy and I continued our European adventures into the city of Barcelona, Spain.

The second largest city in Spain, the seaport of Barcelona is known for it´s architectural works of Antoni Gaudí and Lluís Domènech i Montaner, which are now current UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

We have stayed in two different hostels as we had trouble booking one of them together for the entire weekend. It was a pure joy to be getting up in the morning, having a quick shower and then heading out the door cross town heading to the next hostel.

We have enjoyed the beach, the rain and of course the vibrant nightlife with lots of attractions as we explored the city.

The most remarkable Barcelonan attraction was Gaudí´s unfinished church of the Sagrada Família, which has been under construction since 1882, and is still financed by tourist dollars; as of today, the church projected completion is planned for 2026.
